Dear OFA Members, It has been my express pleasure to have served on the Board of the OFA, and in particular to have had the opportunity to act as Chairman for the Enterprise Working Group (EWG) for the last year or so. I believe the OFA to be a shining example of how an open source community can come together, overcome competitive tendancies and forge a truly lasting software effort that clearly and directly benefits the user and development community it supports. I am particularly proud of the job the EWG has done in furthering the stability of the OFA release process as embodied by the OFED releases. It is clear that these efforts have directly contributed to the widespread adoption of OFA technology with scientific, commercial and enterprise customers. However, it is time in my life for a change, and as such I have resigned from my role at Cisco, effective Oct 12. I will be taking a year or so off to persue some personal interests. Therefore, I must also resign from the Board of the OFA and the Chair of the EWG. In my place, Cisco officially nominates Gopal Hedge as my replacement for the Board seat as well as EWG chair. Gopal has just joined Cisco as my replacement and will head up all the InfiniBand and RDMA efforts for Cisco. Gopal recently joined Cisco from Adaptec where he was running engineering for their RAID product line, and prior to that Gopal spent several years at Intel driving Intel's I/O Architecture and Strategy for Server Platforms. In that role, Gopal drove Intel's DCE, FCoE and I/O virtualization strategies. As such he is uniquely qualified to drive Cisco's combined IB and Ethernet RDMA strategy. Gopal's Contact Info: Gopal Hegde 408-853-7058 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good luck to you all, and keep up the good work. For future reference, I can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers - jamie Jamie Riotto Sr. Director Engineering Server Virtualization Business Unit (SVBU) Cisco Systems 408-853-7813 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
